Evelyn DeLorenzo (she/her)

I am a transgender person with experience helping clients work through gender exploration in all of its splendor, beauty, and possibilities for growth. As clients learn about themselves and their relationship with the world, they find new ways to be their genuine selves.

As a queer, trans therapist, I am honored to be in community with clients and providers who are also in the LGBTQIA+ community. I support clients who are navigating sexuality, gender, social expectations, and what it means to be a person. I use my personal experience as a bridge to connect with and learn about clients who are experts on their own experiences.

Relationships are vital to human life. Connections of all kinds sustain us and offer opportunities for solidarity and community. I take a broad approach to defining relationship issues, and look to guide clients as they navigate trust, commitment, openness, boundaries, and assertive communication.

I use CBT as a lens to conceptualize client's inner experiences. The cognitive triangle of feelings, behaviors, and thoughts can be helpful in understanding and putting into perspective what each of us has control over, what we perceive, and what we define as being our "self."

DBT is fundamental to providing clients with tools for grounding, being present, de-escalating emotional crises, and preventing a freeze response. I offer embodied practices and easy-to-remember instructions for implementing DBT tools in their everyday lives.

Somatic perspectives are vital in helping clients get out of intellectualizing patterns and into their felt experiences. Narrowing the divide between sensations and thoughts, or bringing what clients feel into their conscious space can help people recognize what their body is communicating to their mind. Somatic approaches help me guide clients to a clearer vision of what they need and want in a given situation, from a more holistic perspective.
